Australian musos rally behind ‘River to the Sea’ composer

Australian musos rally behind ‘River to the Sea’ composer

From the Australian edition of the Guardian newspaper:

More than 2,000 people in the music industry have signed a petition supporting a jazz musician and composer whose winning entry River to Sea in the 2025 Queensland Music Awards prompted Brisbane city council to revoke its funding of the annual event.

Kellee Green ‘who is also a teacher at the private Catholic girls’ school Brigidine College in Indooroopilly, delivered an acceptance speech at the awards, during which she accused the Australian government of being complicit in war crimes “by allowing the export of weapons and weapon parts to Israel to directly kill innocent Palestinian men, women, and children”.

She ended the speech with the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
